This fic is dedicated to Jake(PenName: Jakazul), myself and friends..] [ Okay go on and read....
~ ~CHAP 1~ ~
Ely strapped on her helmet and smiled lightly, looking at herself in the mirror and smiled. She wore SEMI-baggy black jeans that went rather low from her waist, a baby blue blouse that had sleeves reaching 4 inches above her wrists and showed most off her stomach and black boots under her jeans. Her brown hair was in a ponytail, showing under the back of her helmet and she wore a cyan necklace. She rushed through the kitchen, messing her sister, Natalie's, hair. Nat winced and growled loudly as she power walked away and grabbed her buttered toast off the breakfast table.
"Bye, Hilda." she shouted as her 40 year old, but decrepit and withering light skinned/ dark-haired step-mother merely raised an eyebrow and spared but not even a simple passing glance at the girl from her newspaper and coffee.
Natalie stared at her and looked at the kitchen clock.. then hearing a loud whir and zooming of the hovering school bus downstairs and outside the apartment, got her backpack and folder and headed out the door, shouting like her sister.
"Later, Hilda."
Hilda scowled deeply, rolling her eyes and removing a large mass of hair of the already very few she had off her right eye.
Ely smiled and waited as Natalie boarded the bus and left. She took out her laser-lock pad and opened her apartment's personal automated garage door and walked her most beloved treasure-item out the garage and the sun revealing it's shining black and silver paint-job... Her 2039 XL Harley. Her father had sent for it to be ordered personally to her home on her previous birthday which had occurred a month ago, much to Hilda's dismay.
Her father was an all-time travelling businessman and hardly got to visit his daughters.
She smiled at his memories and patting her motorcycle, sat on it and started the engine.
She closed the garage door and grinned, driving swiftly to school.
She drove up the lane and parked in the student's parking, locking it securely and setting down the thing supporting it up.
Some guys complimented her ride, but she ignored them. Cat calls and long whistles were directed toward her but she acted like herself and walked past them, smiling.
She ran quickly up the stairs and into the halls and straight to her locker, she removed her helmet and stored it in, taking out her history book, comp disc, laptop and note diary... Hardly did she use her note diary for jotting down important facts.. Screw that. She used it for jotting down IMPORTANT facts.. or just doodling..
She slammed her locker shut and put some things in her backpack and walked off.
She walked down the hall slowly with her backpack hanging off her left shoulder. Blade Sommer walked past her and threw her a look of daring envy. Ely raised an eyebrow and turned at the corner to meet the morning and all-time friendly face of her best friend Caitlynne. She was grinning widely, with her 'LEARNING TOOLS' in arm and giddying madly.
"So how was the ride?" she asked quickly and with a hint of ecstacy.
"SWEET as always, Cat."
She couldn't help but squeal. "Cuz I heard Alex Ruiz shot a long glance at your bike-"
"NOT a bike." Ely interrupted in a pushy tone.
Cat blinked and resumed like nothing.
"Well he saw you riding and some of his fan club were giving YOU stares of envy."
Ely blinked and threw her hands up."OH! So now I have to celebrate for having the biggest female population in school hating me?" Ely said slightly aggravated.
Cat frowned. "You're MISSING the basic point, Ely."
"I don't like winning guy's hearts by the stuff I own, Cat. He's YOUR love interest."
Cat paused and had a somewhat discovered look in her eyes.
"He is not." Cat muttered.
Ely laughed and started walking towards 1st period, Cat following.
Cat sighed and they entered the room. They sat, Cat in the second-to-last aisle and Ely in the aisle in front of it. Cat sat right behind Ely and opened her laptop, not leaving the subject.
"Maybe since he's already got your attention, he'll come to you and-"
"If that even happens I'll introduce him to you." said Ely with a tone of hopeful finality.
Cat looked pleased and dropped the subject for later.
Terry walked in, miraculously, 10 seconds before the bell, looking slagged as could be. Max smirked, barely raising her look from her laptop. He yawned and sat next to her, putting his head down on his closed laptop. Max's smirk began to faint and her eyes shifted momentarily onto Terry.
"So how'd it go?"
Terry's words came somehow moaned and muffled as his face still met his unopened laptop. "Jokerz won't give mayhem's night a rest." he said massaging his head from a pain that was taking over.
"Dana called and said she wanted to speak with you in lunch. Case sounds, severe McGinnis." Max said sadly, while typing.
Terry's head lifted slightly and he slammed it back down again, harder than at first.
At lunch, Cat sat next to Ely and had her unspotted eyes on Alex and was prepping a plan on how to meet him without too much obviousness.
Terry, meanwhile, exited the cafeteria without food and headed outside to the bleachers and spotted as Chelsea and Blade left in the other direction, whispering to each other and frowning.
Terry smiled at Dana and she crossed her arms, her face deep with loathing.
"Dane, I-" Terry began but Dana spoke as if he hadn't.
"I've had all I can take, Terry." she said softly, closing her eyes and looking in the opposite direction.
Terry paused, looking hurt. "What-"
"Every night you sell yourself to Bruce Wayne, not me. Forget me. I'll be fine on my own, deserted at every date planned and promised." Dana still didn't turn to look at Terry.
"And every night you're off doing only God cares what, I'm off looking like an idiot and acting like one. 'He'll be here. I know he will' " she scoffed and her voice rose slightly with every phrase. "But I'm ALWAYS wrong. I'm ALWAYS PATIENT. I'M ALWAYS FAITHFUL. I'M ALWAYS TRUSTING YOU. I'M ALWAYS ON THE CALM SIDE OF THINGS!" she shuouted, now staring angrily at Terry.
"Every day I give an equal part of my share.. always believing you and your hideous lies-"
"Dana I have never-!" Terry cut in but Dana fought back.
"And every day I'm never given back anything for my part."
"Well you have to understand I'm always busy!" Terry's voice rose a little.
"AND THAT'S WHY IIII'LL BE BUSY FROM NOW ON- WITHOUT YOU. If you don't have enough time settled for me... then neither do I." she stomped her foot down and bgan to walk off, boldly.
"DANA it's not that I don't wanna manage time for you. I've been working my butt off every day to keep my family together and all you do is complain about how I let YOU down instead of my family." Terry said in a low and aggravated voice.
Dana scowled back with the upmost loathing.
"So you agree that what it takes to being a couple is to never settle time for each other or to see each other????" she asked loudly and Terry scowled. "WELL I DON'T AGREE TO YOUR THEORY, McGINNIS." she stomped off again, leaving Terry behind, not reacting or running after her. He jabbed his fists in his pockets, shook his head and stormed off the food court.
Ely took slow bites out of her sandwhich and sipped her chocolate milkshake with a look of oblivion at her eyes, she looked as Terry stormed off, staring down at the ground as he walked..
She swallowed her previous bite and paused, holding her sandwhich in mid air by her chin. A thought aproached her from last night.
~She had been driving on her motorcycle down a dark but free lane. She was enjoying every wind-reaking moment of it and jumped off several ramps. But when she drove up a cliff she looked up at the amazing night sky above and looked down to find whirlpools of black reaching up the cliff and releasing angered forceful winds. She was trapped in the black winds and her motorcycle and the landscape disappeared. She was trapped and desperately wanted her way out. Images of her father and sister shot before her eyes... and a sudden rush of fear and desperate wants for freedom and to find something took her over. She screamed but it merely echoed and faded and she fell onto the ground... lonely. She ran in every direction looking for her family but was lost...... until she kneeled in the vast landscape.... only hers and an unknown shadow lingered on the ground and she nor feared it, nor questioned it.~
But she did now. Who WAS that shadow? What had her crazy dream meant? And this wasn't the only odd dream she'd had... it was like the 6th question mark in a row. But by far, every dream revealed a new piece to her puzzle. She dreamt the same thing every night.. but every night it was elongated. So far, her new clue was the shadow next to hers. She thought deeply of her confusion and felt a sparking headache. Cat interrupted and her mind swept back to focus.
"ELY?! There's a fly on your sandwhich!"
Ely hardly took much care into the zooming fly on her food. "Oh.."
"What's up with YOU?" asked Cat, curiously.
Ely threw her sandwhich in the nearby trash can and got up along with Cat. She sipped her milkshake, since she wasn't hungry anyway.
"Just.. thinking."
"About..?"
"What I dreamt last night."
Both girls paused.
Cat held on to her backpack straps and wore a newly concerned face.
"Ely..."
Ely sighed.
"You really oughta watch out and be careful lately.. riding on the motorbike or something." Ely shot a quick look about her saying MOTORBIKE. Cat continued. "It could be giving you a warning,,, or.. be a PREMONITION!" Ely thought.
"Maybe.."
"All I'm saying is be extremely careful and take your dream's advice to consideration."
"But this time I dreamt that a shadow was standing next to me." Cat lifted an eyebrow and listened avidly. "Maybe I'll meet someone who will reak havoc in my life or help me in some way..." Cat's eyes lit up. "You mean, Alex?!"
Ely smirked and both of them laughed.
Terry leaned on a wall and watched as Ely and Cat passed by, laughing. Max was standing next to him.
"I can't believe it came to this." Terry said with an actual put-down tone.
"It was clearly bound to happen either way, Ter..." she looked at him. "I'm SO sorry." she looked at his eys with a hint of regret and remorse in her own.
Terry lifted one corner of his mouth up in a fake smile and exhaled some of his bad burdens off, blowing off his brilliant black locks of hair from his eyes.
The bell rang.
Max tried to smile at Terry and patted his shoulder. "I'll.. see you in 6th." and rushed off to 5th.
"I'll see you in 6th." said Ely as Cat departed in the opposite direction, yards behind Terry, on their way to GYM.
Both Terry and Ely exited the locker rooms in unison and headed out the field. They ran few laps of torture and played multiple sports. Terry was assigned soccer while Ely was reluctantly headed for the basketball court. She hated basketball, it wasn't her type of sport.. Terry on the other hand wouldn't care less about which sport it was.. unless he got a break for once. He had recovered some sleep during geometry and part of physics, yet he wasn't all himself. He considered taking up goalie to just stand there... but he was sent to midfield, much to his dismay.
The coach blew the whistle and the soccer game started, followed by the whistle at basketball.
Ely groaned and ran down the court, as far from the present dribbler as possible. Then SHE was passed the ball and she only ran about two yards before bounce-passing it to another guy. She paused and realized it was Alex. He grinned and Ely spotted a hint of twinkling in his eyes. She stood there as she saw him score the first points. Her team cheered and she stood hesitant.
She waited as 2 of the opponents started the next round of running and blahness... and spotted her favorite field in GYM so far after all these years. She smirked.
"THAT'S what I'm talking about.." she muttered under her breath, wistfully.
Terry still stood, running softly. Harold Jordan kicked the ball to him and he ran with it.. He kicked it with as much effort as he could and passed it to a very grossed out cheerleader. She squeaked and complained about playing in the mud and kicked it carelessly, but rather hard and angrily, off the field and past the football section, toward the basketball courts. Terry and the others scowled. Some of her other teammates started yelling back her complaints and arguing about how girls are so narrow minded and guys are bone headed dregs.
Terry shrugged to himself and ran after the runaway soccer ball.
Ely smirked. ' Time for some action,' she thought and ran off her court and paused the flying soccer ball in mid air while lifting her knee. The ball fell to her side and she steadied it and lifted her right leg behind her and kicked at it with all her might. She missed.
The few other people staring laughed and jeered her way. Terry paused, a few yards away and scowled.
Ely's eyes narrowd in anger and shame. She hated missing her hard kicks.
Then a sharp pain struck her in the head and she grimaced, shouting.
She brought her hand up to her head and part of her forehead. "OW.."
She turned and saw as her teammates howled in laughter and Alex grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry, babe."
Ely scowled deeper and reached for the basketball which fell near the soccer ball and tossed it hard at Alex's head..
He caught it grandly and frowned. "HEY. I AM sorry." he turned and resumed the game.
The coach blew her whistle directly at Ely.
"Let's get going, Gonzalez!" she clapped and Ely mumbled ugly thoughts under her breath. The coach left to whistle on another game which ended up in extreme flirtation.
She massaged her head and turned back as Terry walked toward her.
"You okay?" he asked before thinking.
Ely nodded and kicked the soccer ball the few yards between the two of them and turned back to her hated game.
Terry shouted. "THANKS." Ely turned a bit and nodded, smiling faintly. Terry ran back to his game.
He felt a bit relieved.. At least his exhaustion hadn't been more by a slamming basketball at his head.
'At least I didn't get dumped and ran across the field like a... moron..' thought Ely and groaned, waiting for the rest of the day to be over and knowing her side of the story was still as embarassing as Terry's.
